Chalk anyone?

[Dcabedo]

My palms tend to get pretty sweaty when going for heavier lifts and that usually means my grip goes to shit and I end up having a crappy set. Anybody have the secret for curing sweaty palms or should I just stick with chalk? never used chalk before by the way...

I use chalk on rows bench deads cleans curls and overhead presses... My gym has buckets of chalk everywhere haha

I find it absolutely crucial for deads and bench. I am so much stronger on those with a firm grip. It's like a slightest slipperiness makes my muscles less activated

Yeah thats what im saying man! I find myself stopping in the middle of a deadlift set to wipe my palms dry and it kinda irritates me. My gym unfortunately does not allow chalk because its "too messy". I'm just gonna sneak a bag of chalk in and see how it works out.

I completely forgot about that! Rob from so-cal nutrition gave me a bottle a while back and I loved it! I ended up using it up a little too quickly though...haha

You could use a Rosin bag instead.

I've used rosin bags in some of the sports I've played...works pretty well.
